Question

what is the difference between the weight and mass of an object?
a. mass and weight both refer to the same physical property
b. mass is not affected by gravity
c. mass refers to an objects volume while weight measures the effect of gravity on an object
d. weight is not affected by gravity

Explanation:

Mass is an intrinsic property of an object, measuring the amount of matter it contains, and it does not change with location or gravitational force. Weight is the force exerted on that mass by gravity, so it depends on gravitational pull. Option A is wrong because they are not the same property. Option C is wrong because mass is not related to volume, and option D is wrong because weight directly depends on gravity.

Answer:

B. Mass is not affected by gravity
